Horner composed the basis of "My Heart Will Go On" as a motif used in the film soundtrack, and suggested developing it into a song. The Titanic director, James Cameron, resisted, as he felt a pop song would be inappropriate for the film, but agreed to use it after hearing the demo. The final version was arranged by Afanasieff.

"My Heart Will Go On" is considered Dion's signature song.[3] It topped the charts in more than twenty-five countries. With worldwide sales estimated at over 18 million copies, it is the second-best-selling physical single by a woman in music history, and one of the best-selling physical singles of all time.[4][5] It was also the world's best-selling single of 1998.[6] It was included in the list of Songs of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts. The music video was directed by Bille Woodruff and released at the end of 1997. Dion performed the song to honour the 20th anniversary of the film at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards on May 21, 2017.[7]

Writing and recording

Before the release of the film Titanic, studio executives were worried that it would be a commercial failure.[8] Sony had paid $800,000 for the rights to the soundtrack album and were hoping it would include a theme song.[8] However, the director, James Cameron, did not want to end Titanic with a pop song, feeling it would be inappropriate.[8]

James Horner initially composed the music for "My Heart Will Go On" as an instrumental motif for the film soundtrack.[8] Wanting to prepare a vocal version to use during the end credits, he enlisted the lyricist Will Jennings, who wrote the lyrics "from the point of view of a person of a great age looking back so many years".[9] Horner showed the song to Simon Franglen, who was working with him on electronic textures and synthesizers for the film score. Franglen suggested Céline Dion, with whom he had worked on many of her hits.[10] Dion initially did not want to record it, as she had already recorded the film songs "Beauty and the Beast" and "Because You Loved Me".[9] However, her husband and producer, René Angélil, convinced her to record a demo.[8]

Horner waited until Cameron was in an appropriate mood before presenting him with the demo.[8] After listening several times, Cameron approved it, but worried that he might be criticized for "going commercial at the end of the movie". Cameron also wanted to appease the anxious studio executives and "saw that a hit song from his movie could only be a positive factor in guaranteeing its completion".[11]

The producer Walter Afanasieff was not impressed with the demo, finding it meandering and dreary, but agreed to arrange and produce the studio version.[8] He replaced every part of Horner's demo, and was upset that Horner was given a co-producer credit.[8]

Composition

The song is written in the key of E major. The verses follow the chord progression of E–Bsus4–Aadd9–E–B. The chorus has the chord progression of Cm–B–A–B. The song modulates to A-flat major.[12] It contains heavy emphasis on the instrumental arranging. Usage of Tin Whistle is prominent, backed by melodic use of strings and rhythm guitars. The song features both acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Dion's vocal performance is described as "emotional" and "demanding" by Pandora Radio.[13]

According to the music executive Tommy Mottola, Dion recorded her vocal in one take, and that demo is what was released in the film. However, Dion re-recorded the song for her album release after the film's release and its success. This was an edited version with a few note changes at the end of the song.[8]

The Horner-Franglen "demo" version of the ballad runs a little over five minutes and has an extended ending with longer, segmented vocalizations by Dion. Franglen mixed the final film and soundtrack version, expanding on the demo and adding orchestra to the final chorus. It is this version which appears on the Titanic soundtrack album and is also played over the ending credits of the film.[14]

When the single was to be released to radio, it was produced further by Walter Afanasieff who added string and electric guitar, as well as rearranged portions of the song. This version, which runs a little over four and a half minutes, appears on both the 4-track maxi single and Dion's album Let's Talk About Love.[15] At the height of the song's popularity, some radio stations in the US and the UK played an edited version of the song, that had dramatic moments of dialogue from the Jack and Rose lead characters in the film inserted in between Dion's vocal lines.

The Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø was scheduled to record the song for the film in 1997, but Dion's vocals were preferred due to Horner's decision to support Dion's career.[16][17][18][19] In a December 2014 interview, Horner quotes: "When I had completed the Titanic [film], I had to decide for Celine Dion or Sissel['s] [vocals]. Sissel I am very close, while Celine I had known since she was 18, and I had already written three film songs for [her]. But that was before Celine was known and filmmakers and marketing people had not done what they should have done for Celine and [her] songs. So I felt I owed her a Titanic chance, but I could [still] have used Sissel there".[20] Instead, Kyrkjebø completed much of the score for the soundtrack album, Titanic: Music from the Motion Picture.[16] Dion accepted to sing a demo for the film, despite being initially hesitant to record as she had already done three film songs earlier.[21][22] Years later, Horner chose Kyrkjebø to perform "My Heart Will Go On" on both world premieres of Titanic 3D (2012) and Titanic Live (2015).[17]

Critical reception

AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the song "shines the most brilliantly" and marked it as a standout track from the Let's Talk About Love album.[23] Another AllMusic reviewer, single editor Heather Phares, who rated the single 4 out of 5 stars, wrote, "Indeed, her performances of it on VH1 Divas, the 1998 Academy Awards (wearing the film's 'Heart of the Ocean' pendant, no less), and on her 1997 album Let's Talk About Love have cemented 'My Heart Will Go On' as the quintessence of Dion's sweeping, romantic style".[24] Larry Flick from Billboard called it a "stately ballad", noting that the song "woos with romantic lyrics and a melancholy melody that is fleshed out with a weeping flute solo." He added, "There's no denying that Dion can hit notes that shatter glass—and she does so here—but it's a pleasure to hear her build slowly and remind listeners of her ability to pack volumes of emotion in a whisper. A fine single that will add a much-needed touch of class to every station it graces."[25] People Magazine stated that "the dramatics are fitting when she sings "My Heart Will Go On" as a survivor mourning the lover she lost when the big ship went down."[26] Yahoo.com described it as an "emotional power ballad that perfectly captured [Titanic's] romantic yearning".[9] Vulture said that it is a powerful song and has "one of the most glorious key changes in recorded music history", and that "its legacy is eclipsed only by" Whitney Houston's "admittedly far superior" song "I Will Always Love You".[27] Washington Post appreciated how the song was not just tagged on the end of the three-hour film, but has a lyrical motif that was already placed throughout the key moments of the film's love story in order to create a musical narrative.[28]

The song has also received criticism. In 2011, Rolling Stone readers ranked it the seventh worst song of the 1990s, with the magazine writing, "Celine Dion's song and the movie have aged very poorly...Now [the song] probably just makes you cringe."[29] The Atlantic attributed the song's decline in popularity to its overexposure and added that over the years there have been many jokes that parody the song's lyrics by claiming "My Heart Will Go On" goes "on and on and on".[30] Vulture reasoned that it has become fashionable to dislike the song because it "encapsulates most everything that once-enthusiastic moviegoers now dislike about Titanic: it's outdated, cheesy, and overly dramatic".[27] Maxim deemed it "the second most tragic event ever to result from that fabled ocean liner".[30]

Accolades

"My Heart Will Go On" has accumulated multiple awards from prestigious award giving bodies across the world. It won the 1998 Academy Award for Best Original Song.[31] It dominated the 1999 Grammy Awards, winning Record of the Year — marking the first time to be won by a Canadian — Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television.[32] The song also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 1998.[33]

The song won a Japanese Gold Disc Award, for Song of the Year,[41] as well as a Billboard Music Award for Soundtrack Single of the Year.[34][42] Moreover, it also won at MTV Asia Awards for International Song of the Year in 1999.[37]

It has been named one of the Songs of the Century.[43] It is one of the best-selling singles ever in the United Kingdom,[44] the second single released by Dion to sell over a million copies there. This made Dion one of only two female artists to date to have released two million-selling singles in Britain.[45] In December 2007, the song was placed on number 21 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90's".[46] In April 2010, the UK radio station Magic 105.4 voted the single the "top movie song of all time" after listeners's votes.[47] It was ranked at number 14 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs, celebrating the 100 greatest songs in American film history.[48]

Cultural impact

The song became "imprinted on the movie's legacy", and every listen prompts a reminder of the blockbuster and the hype surrounding it.[30] USA Today agreed that the song will be forever tied to Titanic.[49] The Washington Post says it is the marriage of music and image that make both the song and film greater than the sum of their parts.[28]

Los Angeles Times stated that: "My Heart Will Go On helped make 1998 an amazing year for big pop Ballads.[50] The Atlantic stated that its popularity did not stem from being played at events such as high school proms, weddings, and funerals, but by being indelibly placed into pop culture through numerous plays on the radio station, speakers, and passing cars.[30] Anne T. Donahue from TrackRecord called it "The Greatest Movie Ballad Of All Time" stating: "It changed the game for movie ballads altogether, and the impact was felt immediately."[51] MTV listed 'My Heart Will Go On' as the sixth biggest song of the 90s.[52]

The song, along with Dion's rendition of "The Power of Love", are used by members of siren kings, the New Zealand Polynesian youth subculture who stage modified vehicle public address system loudspeaker competitions. The song is a staple of the competitions, due to the purity and clarity of Dion's voice suiting the audio range for public address systems.[53][54]

In the late 2010s, a pop culture trend emerged on platforms such as YouTube in which the song's iconic key change would be edited in as the soundtrack to a dramatic moment from a sporting match, such as a match winning shot.[55][56] During the pandemic, Barcelona Pianist Alberto Gestoso Performed 'My Heart Will Go On' for His Quarantined Neighbors.[57] In early 2021, DJ at Trump's Washington rally played "My Heart Will Go On" to the crowd.[58]

The film Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021) featured a remix of the song.[59] Bruno Mars opened his first show since early 2020 at MGM, in continuation of his Las Vegas residency and did a rendition of the song.[60] Ariana Grande sang the song with James Corden on a segment at The Late Late Show with James Corden.[61]

Music video

The video was directed by Bille Woodruff and shows Dion singing at the bow of the ship while scenes from the film are inter-cut in between.[62] It was filmed in front of a green screen in Los Angeles. Titanic computer artists filled in the background. On set, Celine provided one special effect, it required her to sing a high speed version of the signature song.[63] In January 2018 the director's cut of the music video appeared on YouTube.[64] It contains unseen footage of Celine including her walking to the bow and a segment which puts her right into the movie.[65]

On March 23, 2023, a new music video was released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Dion's performance of the song at the 70th Academy Awards. The video features alternate never-before-seen footage from the video shoot and was restored from its original 35mm elements to 4K resolution.[66][67]

Live performances

"My Heart Will Go On" was performed by Dion in concert during her Let's Talk About Love World Tour (1998–1999), her Las Vegas residency show A New Day... (2003–2007), her Taking Chances World Tour (2008–2009) and her second Las Vegas residency show Celine (2011–2019). It was also performed during her show "Une seule fois" at Sur les plaines d'Abraham in Quebec City July 27, 2013, during her Tournée Européenne 2013, her Summer Tour 2016, Live 2017 and Live 2018 tours and most recently her Courage World Tour. Dion also performed the song during her BST Hyde Park concert in London on July 5, 2019. One of her backup singers played the tin whistle part of the song.

Acclaims

MTV called Dion's performance at the 70th Academy Award "true perfection", adding: "she sounds flawless as she effortlessly belts out the Best Original Song-winner".[6]

film Titanic studio executives were worried that it would be a commercial failure 8 Sony had paid 800 000 for the rights to the soundtrack album and were hoping it would include a theme song 8 However the director James Cameron did not want to end Titanic with a pop song feeling it would be inappropriate 8 James Horner initially composed the music for My Heart Will Go On as an instrumental motif for the film soundtrack 8 Wanting to prepare a vocal version to use during the end credits he enlisted the lyricist Will Jennings who wrote the lyrics from the point of view of a person of a great age looking back so many years 9 Horner showed the song to Simon Franglen who was working with him on electronic textures and synthesizers for the film score Franglen suggested Celine Dion with whom he had worked on many of her hits 10 Dion initially did not want to record it as she had already recorded the film songs Beauty and the Beast and Because You Loved Me 9 However her husband and producer Rene Angelil convinced her to record a demo 8 Horner waited until Cameron was in an appropriate mood before presenting him with the demo 8 After listening several times Cameron approved it but worried that he might be criticized for going commercial at the end of the movie Cameron also wanted to appease the anxious studio executives and saw that a hit song from his movie could only be a positive factor in guaranteeing its completion 11 The producer Walter Afanasieff was not impressed with the demo finding it meandering and dreary but agreed to arrange and produce the studio version 8 He replaced every part of Horner s demo and was upset that Horner was given a co producer credit 8 Composition EditThe song is written in the key of E major The verses follow the chord progression of E Bsus4 Aadd9 E B The chorus has the chord progression of C m B A B The song modulates to A flat major 12 It contains heavy emphasis on the instrumental arranging Usage of Tin Whistle is prominent backed by melodic use of strings and rhythm guitars The song features both acoustic and electronic instrumentation Dion s vocal performance is described as emotional and demanding by Pandora Radio 13 According to the music executive Tommy Mottola Dion recorded her vocal in one take and that demo is what was released in the film However Dion re recorded the song for her album release after the film s release and its success This was an edited version with a few note changes at the end of the song 8 The Horner Franglen demo version of the ballad runs a little over five minutes and has an extended ending with longer segmented vocalizations by Dion Franglen mixed the final film and soundtrack version expanding on the demo and adding orchestra to the final chorus It is this version which appears on the Titanic soundtrack album and is also played over the ending credits of the film 14 When the single was to be released to radio it was produced further by Walter Afanasieff who added string and electric guitar as well as rearranged portions of the song This version which runs a little over four and a half minutes appears on both the 4 track maxi single and Dion s album Let s Talk About Love 15 At the height of the song s popularity some radio stations in the US and the UK played an edited version of the song that had dramatic moments of dialogue from the Jack and Rose lead characters in the film inserted in between Dion s vocal lines Sissel Kyrkjebo Edit External video Sissel performing My Heart Will Go On on world premiere of Titanic 3D at Royal Albert Hall March 27 2012 YouTube video Sissel performing My Heart Will Go On on world premiere of Titanic Live at Royal Albert Hall April 27 2015 YouTube videoThe Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebo was scheduled to record the song for the film in 1997 but Dion s vocals were preferred due to Horner s decision to support Dion s career 16 17 18 19 In a December 2014 interview Horner quotes When I had completed the Titanic film I had to decide for Celine Dion or Sissel s vocals Sissel I am very close while Celine I had known since she was 18 and I had already written three film songs for her But that was before Celine was known and filmmakers and marketing people had not done what they should have done for Celine and her songs So I felt I owed her a Titanic chance but I could still have used Sissel there 20 Instead Kyrkjebo completed much of the score for the soundtrack album Titanic Music from the Motion Picture 16 Dion accepted to sing a demo for the film despite being initially hesitant to record as she had already done three film songs earlier 21 22 Years later Horner chose Kyrkjebo to perform My Heart Will Go On on both world premieres of Titanic 3D 2012 and Titanic Live 2015 17 Critical reception EditAllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that the song shines the most brilliantly and marked it as a standout track from the Let s Talk About Love album 23 Another AllMusic reviewer single editor Heather Phares who rated the single 4 out of 5 stars wrote Indeed her performances of it on VH1 Divas the 1998 Academy Awards wearing the film s Heart of the Ocean pendant no less and on her 1997 album Let s Talk About Love have cemented My Heart Will Go On as the quintessence of Dion s sweeping romantic style 24 Larry Flick from Billboard called it a stately ballad noting that the song woos with romantic lyrics and a melancholy melody that is fleshed out with a weeping flute solo He added There s no denying that Dion can hit notes that shatter glass and she does so here but it s a pleasure to hear her build slowly and remind listeners of her ability to pack volumes of emotion in a whisper A fine single that will add a much needed touch of class to every station it graces 25 People Magazine stated that the dramatics are fitting when she sings My Heart Will Go On as a survivor mourning the lover she lost when the big ship went down 26 Yahoo com described it as an emotional power ballad that perfectly captured Titanic s romantic yearning 9 Vulture said that it is a powerful song and has one of the most glorious key changes in recorded music history and that its legacy is eclipsed only by Whitney Houston s admittedly far superior song I Will Always Love You 27 Washington Post appreciated how the song was not just tagged on the end of the three hour film but has a lyrical motif that was already placed throughout the key moments of the film s love story in order to create a musical narrative 28 The song has also received criticism In 2011 Rolling Stone readers ranked it the seventh worst song of the 1990s with the magazine writing Celine Dion s song and the movie have aged very poorly Now the song probably just makes you cringe 29 The Atlantic attributed the song s decline in popularity to its overexposure and added that over the years there have been many jokes that parody the song s lyrics by claiming My Heart Will Go On goes on and on and on 30 Vulture reasoned that it has become fashionable to dislike the song because it encapsulates most everything that once enthusiastic moviegoers now dislike about Titanic it s outdated cheesy and overly dramatic 27 Maxim deemed it the second most tragic event ever to result from that fabled ocean liner 30 Accolades Edit My Heart Will Go On has accumulated multiple awards from prestigious award giving bodies across the world It won the 1998 Academy Award for Best Original Song 31 It dominated the 1999 Grammy Awards winning Record of the Year marking the first time to be won by a Canadian Song of

year for big pop Ballads 50 The Atlantic stated that its popularity did not stem from being played at events such as high school proms weddings and funerals but by being indelibly placed into pop culture through numerous plays on the radio station speakers and passing cars 30 Anne T Donahue from TrackRecord called it The Greatest Movie Ballad Of All Time stating It changed the game for movie
